This one-bedroom maisonette sits within a converted warehouse mews, offering generous ceiling heights, large industrial-style windows and an open-plan living/kitchen on the upper level. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a gated communal courtyard entrance — a low-maintenance town-centre base with character and good natural light to the front.
The bedroom and modern bathroom are on the lower level; the bedroom is partly below ground which will limit natural light and may affect marketability for some buyers. The building is leasehold with 118 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £145 per year. Council tax is described as very cheap.
Location is a key selling point: short walks to shops, cafes, Warrior Square station with direct London links, and the seafront. These factors support holiday-let or buy-to-let demand, and suit a single occupant or couple seeking easy access to amenities and the coast.
Notable negatives are factual: the neighbourhood is classified as constrained with above-average crime and high area deprivation, which will influence resale and rental prospects. Outdoor space is communal and small; the internal footprint is compact, so the flat is not suitable for a family. Prospective buyers should view internally to judge finish, natural light to the lower level and overall space.
Overall this is a compact, characterful mews apartment offering coastal convenience and transport links, best suited to first-time buyers, single occupants, couples or investors comfortable with a smaller, leasehold urban home.
